Valentine’s Day Craft :: Valentine Card Holder :: Valentine Day Mailbox

Paper Bag Valentine Post Office Craft


So many possibilities and extensions.

A Valentine craft for everyone in your classroom. 13 different roof tops and 18 front of Post Office designs…let your kids choose their own designs to create their own Post Office Valentine Day card holder.

I have used this simple craft in my room for years. Every year we create these Valentine Post offices. On Valentine’s Day the kids come in with their Valentine cards and delight in reading the names on the cards and delivering them to their correct Postal Box. Once the chaos is completed and all the Valentine cards are hand-out all I have to do is staple up the roof together and Voila! Valentines are packed up and ready to go home.

The kids love colouring all the bits and pieces and then sticking them on to create their own unique Post Offices. I have created very easy houses…trim, colour and glue. For the more complicated Post Office, we start with the “basic” office…colour, cut and glue on the bits. Then, for the kids who excel in fine motor, they just love colouring, cutting and adding all the bits and pieces to their projects, including the sides and the back of the Post Office. Make this project as simple or complex as needed.

I love adding the pieces to cutting trays in my Montessori classroom for cutting exercises.
